Operation with high ambient humidity
When the EO pump is switched off, the heater in the pump will absorb moisture: this will cause a
decrease in the insulation resistance of the heater. If you operate the pump in an environment with high
ambient humidity, this may cause the heater to fail. The rate of moisture absorption (and therefore the
time taken for the insulation resistance of the heater to fall below the recommended value) depends on
the ambient humidity and temperature and the length of time that the pump is switched off.
In addition to the recommendations made in later sections of this manual, you can overcome the effect
of high ambient humidity if you:
•
Configure the electrical installation of the pump for ‘soft-start’ operation, when the pump is
operated with typically 20 to 25% of the nominal supply voltage.
•
Install an anti-moisture heater under the base of the pump. Switch on this heater when you switch
off the pump.
Detailed information about these recommendations is outside the scope of this manual. If you need more
information about the operation of the pump with high ambient humidity, request a copy of our
Application Note P400-50-000 from your supplier or BOC Edwards.

Accessories
A wide range of accessories is available for the EO pumps. This range includes vacuum fittings, valves, and
the following thermal snap-switches:
•
Cooling-fail thermal snap-switch
- This accessory can be fitted to all of the water-cooled EO
pumps, to protect the pump against damage due to failure of the cooling-water supply. If the
temperature of the pump increases above the normal operating temperature, the snap-switch will
operate to disconnect the heater from the electrical supply. The snap-switch automatically resets
when the temperature of the pump returns to normal.
•
Pump-ready thermal snap-switch
- This snap-switch can be fitted to EO4K pumps. The snap-
switch will open to indicate that the pump has reached operating temperature. This snap-switch
can be used to control the operation of your vacuum system isolation-valve.
Refer to Section 7.4 for a full list of accessories available for the EO pumps.
1.7
Applications
The EO pumps are suitable for a wide range of applications, including scientific and research and
development pumping applications.
If you are unsure about the use of the EO pump on your application, please contact your supplier or BOC
Edwards for advice.
